The Business Brew

Evan Tindell - Where Poker and The Market Collide


Listen Later

Evan Tindell joins The Business Brew to discuss how his background as a poker player influences his investing philosophy, how he got started in the business, and he drops some knowledge about shorting. Bill reached out to Evan because Bill wanted to discuss position sizing and “Kelly betting,” which was the catalyst for this conversation.


Please pardon some construction noise in the beginning, the conversation’s quality is worth listening past some background noise.
